The Spice of Health, Turmeric

Turmeric is an amazing spice that has been used in Ayurvedic holistic medicine for thousands of years.
In a recent article I read by Dr. Mercola he stresses the importance of turmeric in your diet whether it be used in your food preparation or in your supplementation. Two years ago when I was first developing Nature’s Virtue I also realized the importance of turmeric and knew that “NV” would not be complete without the addition of turmeric.


Dr. Mercola explains that “One of the main healthful ingredients in turmeric is curcumin (a curcuminoid), which gives turmeric its yellow color”.


These curcuminoids deliver antioxidants that may be:


* 5 to 8 times stronger than vitamin E — and also stronger than vitamin C
* 3 times more powerful than grape seed or pine bark extract


Dr. Mercola’s article summarizes 13 ways that Turmeric can spice up your whole person:


* Boosts your antioxidant protection against free radicals
* Helps promote your healthy skin
* Supports your overall eye health
* Provides you immune system support
* Aids your skeletal system and joint health
* Encourages your healthy liver function
* Helps you maintain healthy cells with support against free radicals
* Balances the health of your digestive system
* Aids you in support of healthy blood and your circulatory system
* Helps you maintain normal cholesterol levels to support your cardiovascular system
* Assists your neurological system’s healthy response to stress
* Promotes a healthy female reproductive system
* Helps you maintain blood sugar levels already within the normal range


And more…


Millions of people use turmeric on a daily basis in their lives today. In India alone, up to 500 million people use it in one form or another every day.


Knowing what you know now about turmeric aren’t you glad that we added it to your “NV”!
